Sarah Vernau

Hello, I'm Sarah. I started running around 15 years ago. I joined Formula One Circuit Crew as I had entered a 5k Race for Life but had never actually run - and I really wanted to be able to run the whole way round. I managed to run the whole 5k and since then, with the encouragement of the club, I've run far too many races and distances to remember!

I particularly enjoy off road running, anything involving mud and hills - cross country, trial runs, fell runs and the odd multi-day mountain marathon are my favourites.

Because I started off from not being able to run at all, I really enjoy helping people to achieve their goal of getting started with running.
